  • happy thought

    there it is
    this tiny little
    happy thought that
    makes you smile
    treasure that thought
    share that thought
    with every person
    willing to listen
    if only one
    other person is
    smiling, the world
    is already a

    better place

  • sometimes

    sometimes
    I feel lost
    and lonely
    like I'm all alone
    out there
    sometimes
    I feel the joy
    of the whole world
    resonating
    within me
    sometimes
    I feel the burden
    of being me
    among
    others
    sometimes
    I don't care
    what others
    think or say
    about me
    sometimes
    I feel to much
    and I do care
    what others
    do and say
    to me
    sometimes
    the world is
    a cruel place
    to live in
    sometimes
    I want peace
    and quiet
    without
    fighting
    sometimes
    I want
    belonging
    without
    outing
    sometimes
    I wish
    sometimes
    could be
    every time
    sometimes
    maybe
    all of us
    could be
    a little bit
    more inclusive

    for all of us

  • Super haiku Bros. V

    giant lizard
    roasting his enemies
    stores axes near bridges

    — King Koopa

    blinking brightly
    high on psychedelic mushrooms
    dispatching everything

    — Mario with Superstar

  • Super haiku Bros. IV

    small dark ball
    blinking red, living only
    to explode

    — Bob-omb

    shot from a cannon
    flying slowly, and yet
    staying aloft

    — Bullet Bill

  • Super haiku Bros. III

    fluffy white ether
    shyly hiding if you look
    approaches from behind

    — Boo

    nothing but bones
    crumbling at the slightest touch
    reassembling every time

    — Dry Bones

  • Super haiku Bros. II

    flying turtle
    hovering up and down
    serving as bridge

    — Koopa Paratroopa

    big brother
    constantly throwing hammers
    defeated by small earthquake

    — Hammer Bro

  • Super haiku Bros. I

    giant chestnut
    walking steadily to the left
    falling off blocks

    — Goomba

    vigilant tortoise
    protected by its shell
    Yoshi's food

    — Koopa Troopa

  • summer’s end

    summer came
    summer went
    all that remains
    are warm memories
    of sunny days
  • lost definition

    long lost
    … a loss prolonged beyond it’s initial schedule

    short lost
    … a loss abridged to save time

    recently lost
    … a loss that freshly happened

    found lost
    … a loss that was now discovered

    just lost
    … a loss well deserved

    not lost
    … a loss that never happened

    prematurely lost
    … a loss that occurred before it’s time

    unlost
    … a loss undone

  • diamond skull

    defying death
    with riches
    born from dust
    matured over aeons
    wrested from their earthly homes
    to be cut
    and polished
    until they shine
    as bright as the stars
